Mom always made all the boys share the downstairs bathroom, under the worst circumstances, where both upstairs baths were taken and you couldn't wait (maybe see the guard the door while pregnant woman goes post) - it was taking your life in your hands to find yourself in the same room where their dirty socks lived "in" the hamper - huge shudder. I say leave the label, have a talk about how stupid advertising is and that no soap is gonna getcha some, particularly some with two girls - but that staying clean does make it a bit easier on everyone including girls - out of six brothers, only two are married, and they all use Axe or Tag - apparently not getting them much attention!

I bought a package of Axe at Walmart that contained 2 sprays and sunscreen. I should have had a clue when the title was Spring Break. I was shocked when I read the instructions weeks later on the sunscreen. 1. remove cap 2. apply generously to your entire body (pay special attention to all covered regions as there's no telling how long these bits will stay covered during spring break.) 3.Repeat application to any female bodies that may be exposed to the sun. 4. Replace cap. I was surprised and embarassed. I hid it in the basement to throw away later and forgot until I read your blog. The sprays do prevent you from breathing after being sprayed.

Their commercials on TV definitely push the envelope. You mastered the sex talk with such aplomb, though, why not just address the ills of polygamous relationships? :D I mean, seriously Anne...$1.99 is a bargain. AND, the boy smells good!

That had me howling... I went through similar issues with my stepson who is now 21. You too can survive! (The kicker was finding a used condom of his in the wash. Awesome.) BTW, he liked ProActiv and it worked well. Even if Vanessa Williams is the spokesperson. And what up with my 5 year old - he smells like pee ALL THE TIME and it's grossing me out. I'm ready to break out the Axe on his ass, menage or no. TOO DAMN FUNNY! That had me howling… I went through similar issues with my stepson who is now 21. You too can survive!

My two boys (12 and 7) like anything of mine from Bath and Body, especially my lovely Mango and Pomegranate hair/body wash. Just pick out your favorite and it will become theirs, as my jacuzzi tub has been a Hot Wheels racetrac, dirt bike ramp, etc. for many years. It's never as painful as when you step into a hot bubble bath that you've prepared, have a new Cottage Living or Oprah magazine, and a Diet Dr. Pepper chilled and OWWWW!! you scream when you sit on a Corvette or Mustang or Monster Truck. One day I'll reclaim my wonderful tub, but by then I'll have bought a dog and my husband will use my tub for removing ticks and matted dog hair.

Girls or no girls if it cuts the stink it's got to be worth it. I say leave the label - it's a good time to learn the truth behind advertising. Nothing works as promised - especially the fancy smells. The only thing you are sure of by using the products is that your own body odor won't cause people around you to run screaming from the room!
